I used a varient of the techniques described above (spotting a trend here?), turned the bike upside down, sprayed in loads of motor-cycle chain lube (first thing to hand) then left it for 24 hours.
Front wheel back in, bike the other way up.
Undo the bolt slightly so it is standing proud, then put a bit of wood on the top of the bolt and wang it with a Birmingham screwdriver a few times.
Mix that with twisting the bars and it will come out in time.
